Given the importance of legibility in urban spaces, designing memorials and urban elements is criticized due to the ability of design in conveying a desired idea. In some cases, a literal demonstration of a concept leads to loss of artistic – and especially, aesthetic value, while in some others, too much complexity prevents the viewer from understanding the meaning. Here, due to their constant association with human objective and subjective experience, archetypes can provide a framework for innovation.

Since national symbolism has played a role as one of artistic backgrounds, during the wars, and since a Tulip, as a symbol of martyrs in Persian literature is a familiar sign, here redesigning this archetype becomes an innovative and pure concept for the design.
